international news from a roll of the world here with me to on with a let's take a look at that those top stories this hour. foreign governments and businesses affected by the n.s.a. surveillance that edward snowden revealed are taking decisive steps to prevent future spy in brazil is creating an encrypted the e-mail service to shield official communications of from u.s. snooping and germany's biggest telecoms from is planning to switch to exclusively domestic connections to protect the user's private data the details from our correspondent in berlin pete oliver. here inside one of the main offices of germany's largest telecommunications operates and they are coming up with a plan that they hope will protect their customers information from the prying eyes of security services telecom has announced that they will only be using german servers for all communications inside germany in the future this is something they have said perhaps they would like to roll out to across europe but for now it's
4:02 am
only going to be here in germany that information e-mails and phone calls and text messages will only travel on german service now this comes out following the revelations of just how much germany was spied on as sponsored by the n.s.a. and british. coming out from the the leaks that edward snowden revealed to various media outlets in fact just to sum up how much germany was spied on one leak that was revealed in big old news magazine in june of this year showed it's around half a billion e-mails phone calls and text messages were intercepted in germany in the for each month the announcement by the telecoms actually probably prompted all the major operators to say that they want to follow suit vodafone among them as well. telefonica said they would also try to roll this out for their customers however
4:03 am
there are some that are skeptical of whether it could work due to the nature of the modern communications however telecom is saying that the term and to protect their customers information from the prying eyes of the spy case. another way for businesses to ensure confidentiality is to move away from the dot com domain one company taking that route out of the snowden revelations is the major malaysian investment firm alessio russia have told to the head of the company about its online i'll turn it. this is one of the numerous server rooms of the heart of the russian internet the dot are you demain and now these shelves of glowing boxes have several more as the major malaysian investment firm has decided to relocate its servers into russia becoming the first foreign company to register within the dot are you denying the man running the company sas he's done that because of recent revelations by edward snowden which seemingly have not only left high profile
4:04 am
politicians like the brazilian president offended but also prompted some businessmen to take practical steps to talk about it we're joined by the president of the majority and partners company mr majority thanks for your time and joining us here my first question why did you choose to move your service to russia not anywhere else we are a normal company reaches. think that if we hear. from prove we the world got from mr snowden that certain organizations in the west are listening into medical records of their own citizens and the e-mail traffic of g. mail yahoo hotmail i do believe it's time to say goodbye to dot com and has an excellent service that safe if i have a service which i pay for all i want is good customer service i want safety of my network or my server i have a program for this reality congress over the lucian it's time to wake up so the malaysian businessman believes that putting his service into the russian domain he
4:05 am
will feel more safe where that is so lost the people running the russian internet so given off from who stand to gain is it really secure is it really wise move by the malaysian to move the service here we can say it is more secure because. foreign intelligence agencies catered for example in great britain in germany in sweden and intelligence agencies all the united states have more cooperation with. these countries than with russia so it's more difficult to control when the equipment is situated just like it in russia. chris kate cutesie his company provides encrypted internet service this is another entrepreneur who has moved all the from state to another country he told us earlier how washington's approach to security only feels uses demands for more privacy. really what's happening here is that they have a different strategy instead of targeting the people who they know or suspect of
4:06 am
being terrorists are crossing bad things there they're expecting everyone to be a terrorist and that of course is not true so really what we're doing is we're offering a service that allows people to find the truth i mean really what's happening is people can't they're getting their e-mails blocked they're getting things censored and this is a way to get through that get around it and you know most ninety nine point nine percent of the usage on a service like ours is going to be i'd say substantially it's going to be innocent usage so should you shut down ninety nine point nine percent of the world just because point one percent are bad people i don't think so we're actually getting calls from friends of mine who run businesses that store data for large multinational companies consumers are demanding this this is what's driving it's not about just me thinking it's a good idea for marketing or that we're going to find all the fringe paranoid people everybody wants privacy for their data. and the latest revelations was
4:07 am
really put on our website the n.s.a. is apparently collecting hundreds of millions of e-mails and instant message contacts from users address books plus check us check with us on twitter for instant updates on the constantly unfolding surveyed in scandal. right see. first strike. and i think you're. going to. be in the. to another story that's making headlines the united states is only two days away from financial collapse and less lawmakers can strike a budget deal to avoid default rival democrats and republicans have been stuck in
4:08 am
a loop for over two weeks with most government were crippled and is now reports of a deadlock that could spark a domino effect around the world. this self-inflicted shutdown is causing panic around the world as washington scrambles to avoid default the global economy is at risk of being thrust back into recession while at home millions will have to cut their losses either way deal or no deal businesses that were unable to work at full capacity for public sector contracts which will see delays in payment and unemployment which is already on the rise due to the shutdown but possibly the most ironic thing about this government shutdown now in its third week is that it's not saving money it's costing america at least one hundred sixty million dollars a day and given the crisis has entered its fifteenth day the overall costs could be as much as two and a half billion dollars and that number of course is expected to grow and the political debate is hampering

the big companies rather than use the power of. the government argues that the tax is fair and those using solar energy still require the use of the conventional energy grids and say this tax will contribute to the cost of maintenance but the solar lobby say the new tax will extend the time it takes for solar panels to pay for themselves from eight to twenty five years as for the fine that could be levied if people like don't pay up well that's being set at a mind boggling thirty million euro i already know people who are removing the. protesters say that simply to scare people into submission but as to whether it's working for padre. you know. the laws against your rights you have the right to refuse to do with the government tells you i'm going to continue with and i'm not going to be the drugs
